Just did a search...there are Les Schwab stores in Martinez, Livermore, and Napa. Any of those close to you? All of Oregon, especially the home town of Prineville, is wondering what's going to happen to this chain when ol' Les passes. His daughter, being groomed to take over, just passed...a tragic early illness, and a son died earlier in a car accident. It really is quite a biz model, started with one store, emphasis was always on great service and a good guarantee. Flats fixed for free, road hazard warranty part of the price, etc.
